That was not an interception. If the ball touches the ground and moves, its an in-completion.

That being said Teo will be exposed in the 4-3 unless its SAM. He can play zone but man coverage on an NFL TE. No way. Put him on at 3-4 ILB and watch him become a star. He's really no different than Rolando McClain for the Raiders.

ND's toughest opponent was an overrated Big XII team. People need to keep that in mind.

ok genius needs to removed from that user name.

Yea, that was a great INT. The ball is allowed to touch the ground if he maintains possession, the ball didn't move around until he was rolling over and the ball wasn't touching the ground anymore. Thus, a INT._________________2013 First Ballot Recipient of the Joe Blackburn Award

#6. Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame: It seems that every year there is a high profile defender who earns some buzz as a Heisman contender. A few years back it was Ndamukong Suh. A year ago it was LSU's Tyrann Mathieu. This season, it is Te'o. With all due respect to Notre Dame's "skill-position" players, there is no question that the Irish's playmaking middle linebacker is the team's best player and biggest reason for their impressive start. I don't anticipate that Te'o will ultimately be drafted this high but he ranks among the relatively "sure things" of this year's draft class.

I don't want Teo with where we are going to be picking. Linebacker is just one of those positions that I'm skeptical of in the top 5 to 10. Considering that our best linebacker also plays the position that Teo is best suited at, I don't like it. Too much risk in it that high. If we were picking in the mid or late teens, I'd like it a lot more.

there is an inherit assumption in your line of thinking though.

See i don't care if it is Te' Jackson Johnson or Johnson Te'o Jackson.

What ever makes the D better. But also your argument is only cogent in a base set. Having Jackson and Te'o in a nickel isn't a bad thing_________________The Dawgpounds new three headed monster!

If you are asking Jackson to cover anyone then yeah it is a bad thing. The only thing D'Qwell Jackson is good for outside of a million tackles 6 yards downfield is a delay blitz when he has a free lane to the QB. Ask him to get around blockers on his own and he'll fail. Most overrated player on the roster. Most overrated linebacker in the NFL._________________
